[Submitted on 9 Feb 2025 (v1), last revised 15 Apr 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled MERGE$^3$: Efficient Evolutionary Merging on Consumer-grade GPUs, by Tommaso Mencattini and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Evolutionary model merging enables the creation of high-performing multi-task models but remains computationally prohibitive for consumer hardware. We introduce MERGE$^3$, an efficient framework that makes evolutionary merging feasible on a single GPU by reducing fitness computation costs 50$\times$ while preserving performance. MERGE$^3$ achieves this by Extracting a reduced dataset for evaluation, Estimating model abilities using Item Response Theory (IRT), and Evolving…
